ÖNORM EN ISO 22721

This International Standard specifies requirements for rubber- or plastics-covered conveyor belting of textile construction for underground mining on flat or troughed idlers. It is not applicable to light conveyor belts as described in ISO 21183-1. This International Standard does not include requirements for plastics covers. These will need to be agreed upon by the manufacturer and purchaser, taking into account the type of plastics to be used. Related items that are not requirements of this International Standard, but which it is recommended be agreed upon by the manufacturer and purchaser, are included in Annex A. Details recommended to be supplied by the purchaser of belting with an enquiry are given in Annex B. The ability of a belt to run straight cannot be assessed until the belt is installed. Requirements for this are, therefore, outside the scope of this International Standard; nevertheless, recommendations for lateral drift are given in Annex C.
